It'll be my 1st time doing inspection. May I know what's "corride door" ? Any pic to illustrate hehe? I don't understand the two points: - corride door fixtures to be "movable" at any time - hooks on ceilings(corride door) to be removed Please enlighten me. Thanks!

bepgof 20 Report post Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) Sometimes, actually most of the time, thoughts run faster than hands and therefore got typo errors, pls forgive me: 1. Corride door = corridor 2. It should be read as "portable" instead of "removable". 3. Those stuff outside house, are not allowed to be fixed (by mean of screw/glue/cement, etc)onto wall or floor, stuff like rack, pot, stand, etc. 4. Any hook within house is ok, but not OUTSIDE. People like to hang these stuff outside :flower pot/bird cage/banners....obstruct traffic and cause potential danger.... I have a "granite stone bench"-can sit abt 3 people, weighed abt 150kg, next to my entrance door. Made in 3 pieces, anytime can be carried away, have consulted town council, it is acceptable.

Thanks so much for the explanations Woah I often see people fixing pots and prayer stands along their corridoor. Previously I didn't know that those were unacceptable. I will look out for the fixtures tonight. Edited March 16, 2010 by forgotten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let me shared what happened on my sis-in-law. She stayed there for almost 8 yr, 3-rm extreme corner. Neighbour likes to accuse things like flower pot/shoe... missing, excess watering. Nb also intended make dog hair outside corridor..Police has come quite a few rounds.... Abt 2 wk ago, again starts accusation. My sis-in-law already cannot endure anymore, took pictures of the birdcage hanging at ceiling of corridor (directly opp Nb's next, and in-law has to walk pass under bird cage). Nb kena verbal warning, reminded to remove hook within 3 days. Now the Nb kena "red" letter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She should spend her free time doing charity community work instead of picking on people. Edited March 17, 2010 by forgotten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
